Centrally located on a quiet street, make yourself at home in this private, 2nd floor back-of-house apartment, nestled between the trees.
Only a short walk to the city's best coffee, museum, and shopping.

Exposed brick, plants, and 12ft ceilings in a cozy back-of-house apartment. Great for two people or a single traveler.
You will sleep on queen-sized mattress that you may not want to leave.
Please also note the age of the apartment (100+ years). This means no renovated countertops but instead a kitchen from the 70s (everything works) with its own charm.
Due to the age, there is no central air. Instead, I have a window AC unit (spring/summer only) in the bedroom and 3 fans to keep you cool during hot days.
Guests have access to on-street parking. Unfortunately, The patio and backyard belong to other apartments only.
You will have full privacy. I will stay out of your way. If you'd like me to offer recommendations, I'll be happy to help!

The Fan is a walkable, bike-friendly, safe, historic neighborhood with easy access from the highway.
The neighborhood is home to some of the city's best restaurants and coffee shops.
It is only a short walk to Carytown where you can find dozens of shopping and dining options, all on one street.
Street parking is generally available if you arrive before 6pm. After 6pm, you may have to circle around the block to find a spot.

I had a delightful stay at Remo's apartment. It was well-appointed, tidy, and in a great neighborhood, so close to anything you could want. Remo was very attentive, checking in to see if all was well and suggesting great restaurants. Perfect place to relax and explore Richmond!

ShaunaAugust 2016

Wonderful experience staying at Remo's apartment! He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible, and we would happily stay again. Thanks Remo!

SarahJuly 2016

The listing and photos were accurate. Cute neighborhood. Remo was responsive and accommodating, even set out fresh bouquets.

FaithMay 2016

Remo was very nice and attentive. Apartment was a bit old. Would recommend for a short stay.

StephanieNovember 2015

This place is a gem! Right in the heart of the Fan and very centrally located. It also might be the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! As a former Richmond resident, it was great to be back in my old neighborhood in a traditional Fan apartment. If you want the quintessential RVA experience, this is the place to stay. Thank you Remo for being such an amazing host!!

CorieApril 2016

Remo was a great host. He was very responsible and the place was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

MeganNovember 2015

Didn't get a chance to meet Remo personally, but he was exquisitely communicative on a VERY short notice reservation. Remo's place is exactly as depicted, with even more character than the pictures show. The bed was very comfortable for two, and you can't beat the location in the Fan. Would recommend a start with Remo anytime, and plan to be back again.

NicholasMay 2016

Remo was a great host and his apartment was perfect for our weekend trip! He was very responsive and made us feel welcome. The apartment was in a very convenient location for what we wanted to do and it was very clean and cozy. We would definitely recommend this spot for a stay in Richmond!

This is a cozy second floor bedroom in an historic Church Hill home. The room is small and would comfortably suit one or two adults. My place is close to parks, great views, and excellent restaurants. You’ll love my place because of the vintage charm, the big windows, and the location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

The bedroom is in a recently renovated 1915 home on the East side of Church Hill. There are large windows overlooking the street and beautiful late afternoon sun. There is no closet and the room is small, but would be comfortable for one or two adults.
Guests will have access to the second floor bathroom down the hall from the bedroom. I have a second guest room also posted on Airbnb. Guests from both rental rooms share the bathroom. Guests can also access the kitchen, living room, and front and back porches for hanging out.
I'm happy to recommend places to visit in Richmond and places to walk to in Church Hill. Richmond has been my home for four years and I think it is a wonderful city with lots to offer visitors. If you prefer privacy, I am happy to leave you to your own devices. I provide a handout describing local restaurants.

Church Hill is a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood on the East side of Richmond. Not all parts of this neighborhood are safe, and Church Hill is a mix of trendy new businesses and convenience stores with barred windows. I enjoy having a variety of neighbors, and guests should know that this neighborhood caters to low-income residents as well as newly arrived hipsters and upscale old money. There are many unique restaurants and coffee shops walkable in the area including a Turkish wood-fire oven bakery, a German butchery, and upscale Southern dining. There are three beautiful parks, all with very nice views of the city skyline or the river. The bike/walk path to downtown is accessible from the neighborhood.
Parking is available on the street and Richmond is easy to navigate by car. Uber operates in the area as well as other taxi services. Bus services are available for crosstown travel. As a rule, I don't walk alone at night and I would recommend the same for my guests.
My dog, Cowboy, lives in the house. He is a very well behaved long-haired chihuahua.

My husband and I had a very restful night in this cozy bedroom in Annie's charming home. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, and we especially appreciated how quiet the neighborhood was, and what a great shower we had in the bathroom! It's also a quick on-and-off to the main freeway through Richmond. We'd recommend this to anyone.

CarlaFebruary 2016

The stay was amazing . Annie had a print out with suggestions for where to eat and what to do in her town . It was an amazing experience , Annie is so sweet

JeanMarch 2016

Annie greeted us upon arrival. She had a nice information pamphlet and recommended great restaurants. The room was neat and clean.

MarkSeptember 2015

Nice room, fairly priced. Great breakfast at the Urban Farm the next day. Annie was hospitable and thoughtful.

PhilOctober 2015

Annie was extremely accommodating with our check in time, as we got stuck in traffic and got in later than expected. She communicated with us often and provided us a pamphlet with local eateries and cafes! The room was just the right size for us, with lovely high ceilings and a window facing the outside. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet her or her dog Cowboy I've read so much about due to our late arrival but I would recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in the heart of richmond.

CourtneyNovember 2015

I arrived very late, so I haven't had a chance to meet Annie. However, she is a very great hostess ,very considerate and makes us very comfortable to stay at hers. The bedding was very clean, and the room was cozy and warm. Feels like home. Recommended it.

kevinFebruary 2016

Annie has a great house! It's well designed and really cute. She was great at communicating and I really recommend her place!

RobertFebruary 2016

Annie was excellent host and her house is beautiful. Very quaint room with with access to several places to eat. Also very accessible to the highway so we could get back to the fan quickly. Thanks would definitely recommend to friends.

Our basement in-law suite boasts a beautiful full bath (just remodeled), a sit-down breakfast space, and a comfortable queen bed. Amenities include cable TV, Wi-Fi, mini fridge and microwave, and a hot pot for making coffee and tea. The suite has its own private entrance in the back, and guests are welcome to use our garden patio anytime. Guests staying longer than three nights can share our main kitchen and laundry room. Welcome to Richmond!

Excellent hosts. Suite was clean & as described with a great shower! Would recommend to anyone looking for a basic space for a very fair price.

BrettNovember 2016

This is a clean but basic basement apartment. There were a couple of hiccups in our stay, but Helen worked to remedy those quickly. The furniture is very basic/cheap. There aren't many outlets so I found it difficult to plug in my computer and electronics in convenient places. Ceiling is low if you are a tall person. Not much in the way of utensils/dinner wares - basic paper plates a paper cups. I bumped my head quite a bit around the room. Overall a clean but basic crash pad. Not a lot of luxury.

DanielNovember 2016

I recommend this host and location. It was very comfortable and had everything you needed. The location is convenient to major highways and a short walk to the Fan/Carytown for dinner. This is a great area for running. The room is private and quiet. I didn't have a chance to enjoy the fenced backyard, but it looked like a great place for enjoying a quiet evening outdoors.

AndrewOctober 2016

I had a very enjoyable stay and found the room and hosts very welcoming. The hosts were easy to communnicate and were genuinely interested in making my stay a positive experience. They also helped me find my way around town and gave me dining recommendations that turned out to be great. The description they provide of the room is accurate. The bed is comfy and the shower is amazing! I would defintely stay there again.

CurtisNovember 2016

Great location for exploring Carytown, also super close to Byrd Park and Maymont.

BryanNovember 2016

Great space and location.

AndrewNovember 2016

Helen is a lovely host who makes your stay easy and enjoyable. Her place is easy to find with the bright yellow door. Inside your have all your basic needs...nice and cozy..

BethOctober 2016

Helen and her husband were very welcoming, and answered my pre-arrival questions promptly with lots of useful information. Host's house is easy to find with plenty of on street parking. Neighborhood is quiet and pleasant and close to fabulous Cary/Fan area. Nice little garden/sitting area out back. Amenities are appropriate for short stay with access to their kitchen for a longer stay. This is a cellar apartment with an efficient dehumidifier.

My place is close to Everything! parks, restaurants, coffee shops, history, VCU, museums, city views - very walkable. It is a lovely 1802 historic home - with all of the modern conveniences, great back yard, pet friendly, easy to get to - it's an oasis with proximity to the best of Richmond. You will have a private bedroom and your own bath with a clawfoot tub/shower. Plentiful on-street parking.

Historic home built in 1802 with reportedly the oldest 'free' standing kitchen in Richmond. It has been completely modernized but retains it's old charms. There are large windows overlooking the street and beautiful late afternoon sun. It has a small closet, DOUBLE bed, 2 night tables and a small desk. It would be comfortable for 2 adults, but could accommodate a third on the available twin air mattress. Next to the bedroom is your private full bath with a clawfoot tub/shower.
Pearl the Mini Aussie puppy has full range of the house - except for your bedroom. She loves to play if you want. She is still very 'puppyish' and loves other dogs. She is only 20 lbs, so she is even good with old doggies. As long as your dog is good with other dogs feel free to bring him/her!
You and your pets are welcome in all of the common areas - kitchen, living room, fenced back yard, deck, etc. You have full access to my kitchen and all of the cookware, plates, silverware, etc. Please treat it like you would your own home. There is a washer and a dryer that you may use. No cable TV but I have wifi internet!
Usually, I will be home to greet you. Or there is a lock box.

Church Hill is a great spot - quite gentrified. Plenty of on street parking in front of my house - especially on weekends. Church Hill is a generally safe urban environment, I've lived here for 6 years and have never encountered problems. It is a quite walkable residential neighborhood close to VCU and all of Richmond's bars/culture/history etc.
It's one of the oldest neighborhoods in Richmond (which wasn't burnt down during the Civil War) with a wealth of diversity. 6 blocks away there is Chimborazo Park, part of the Richmond National Battlefield Park system and several other city parks that overlook the entire city and river. A good fenced in dog park is 8 blocks away. The James River is about 10 blocks away. There are 3 bakeries, many restaurants, pubs, community gardens, Stone Brewery and a small market within 10 blocks.
Richmond has crazy festivals, beer tastings, history, fab restaurants and lots of creativity!
Less than a block to the GRTC bus. 1 mile to the train station/Amtrak and the Megabus station. Biking is an easy way to explore Richmond as it covers a pretty small area. There is great Uber coverage. I am also 6 miles to the airport.
Please note - my house books really fast! I do not "hold" the room. If you send me a message or inquiry and then wait to book... well, it is on a first come first serve basis. I really am sorry if the dates get taken because someone else committed faster.
I do offer discounts for monthly stays. Please contact me.
The bath has a lovely claw foot tub, so it is taller than a modern tub.
If you have any issues, please let me know.
I always have coffee and tea available.
I am happy to have last minute guests. The room is always ready for you and your next adventure.
Parking is on the street and free.
This listing is my home where I live. I will be present during your stay.

Jackie was wonderful and very inviting and the room was perfectly cozy. Churchill is such a quaint location with easy access into downtown Richmond.

CaraOctober 2016

Jackie couldn't have been more welcoming. We loved her beautiful home which is in a lovely residential district. We were also lucky enough to meet her beautiful dog, Pearl. Jackie had thought of everything to make our stay a pleasant one. Thank you Jackie

SusieSeptember 2016

Jackie was the best host! Her house is beautiful and in a great location. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcomed. She was very helpful in every way and the whole experience with her was wonderful!

AdrianaJuly 2016

What a wonderful place to stay! Like a high end B&B. Jackie is so welcoming and hospitable. With teas, snacks, fruit and so much more she really wants her home to feel like your own. I would highly highly recommend staying here. I enjoyed being "home" so much it was hard to leave.

LaurelAugust 2016

Jackie went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Her home is beautiful, filled with lovely amenities, and located in a great neighborhood. We were provided with a thorough list of restaurants and things to do in Richmond. Our bedroom and bathroom were a dream (that clawfoot tub!), and we had a lovely morning on the deck-she even provides a selection of snacks, tea, and coffee. We only live an hour away but are so happy we made a night of it and stayed in Jackie's home.

candiceOctober 2016

Jackie was a great host who provided above and beyond what her listing advertised. She had awsome food recommendations at local restaurants and made us feel very welcome at our home away from home.

MichaelAugust 2016

Jackie was a wonderful host. She made me feel very comfortable. We had a nice time talking and playing with her extremely cute dog. Her home was clean, comfortable, and close to some very good restaurants. I would definitely recommend a stay.

Lou November 2016

Welcome to Richmond! You will find my apartment in the heart of downtown Richmond in the beautifully restored Shockoe Slip neighborhood. Great restaurants, nightlife, historic, cultural, and outdoor adventure are just a stones throw away. Whether you are here for leisure, a business trip, festival, or college interview, you've come to the perfect place!

The available bedroom has 1 queen bed with attached bath while the common room has a very quality LL Bean futon double that can sleep 2. My bedroom is not part of the listing, so one of the two bedrooms is off limits. The living room and kitchen are available for use, so I welcome you to get comfy, use the television, read my books, or use the kitchen facilities. All I ask is that if you cook to please clean up after yourself and keep things in their place.
Guests are invited to get comfortable and make themselves at home! The living room and kitchen is shared, so feel free to watch TV (no cable but I have high speed Internet and Google Chromecast so you can stream movies, YouTube, music, etc through the wifi)
Kitchen is open for business but please don't eat my food. I usually offer adults a drink to settle in and get comfy. Tap water is perfectly fine, but I offer a purified water jug in the fridge you can use. Coffee and tea is out for you to prepare. If you decide to cook then please clean up after yourself. Thanks!
I usually enjoy sharing a drink and a good chat with my guests if the opportunity presents itself, but if you want your space then I respect that as well! The goal is for you to feel comfortable in the space. Enjoy yourself!

The Shockoe Slip neighborhood was restored back in the late 70s early 80s and represents some of the best historical buildings in the city. Beautiful cobble streets, Colonial brick warehouse style buildings, the Slip was the hub of colonial commercial shipping of flour, coffee, tobacco, and other important commodities. The canal nearby has been restored in beautiful fashion and sports a wonderful boat tour. There are neat Segway tours available as well. DO go see the James River and walk the canal North to Tregdar Ironworks and then up to Belle Isle. Restaurants here are great but a bit upscale. Walk towards the train station on Main St for other options in more affordable pricing.
DO ask me for recommendations. I'm still getting my feet wet so my favorite restaurants and bars often change.

I believe in open efficient communication. I am always available to answer questions. I send out a check-in instructions email within 24 hrs of the visit that contains lockbox info, parking info, and various other items.

I love how close you are to everything. 4 blocks from VMFA, 2 blocks from Carytown, 3 blocks from Byrd Park, within 5 blocks of 15+ bars and restaurants. Within 3 miles of The National, 1 mile from The Broadberry, 3 miles of The Camel, 2 miles of Altria Theater, same block as Cary St Cafe. 2 miles from VCU, 5 miles from UofR.
You are so close to most places that it is really inexpensive to park and Uber everywhere. However with the off street parking available, you are guaranteed to always have a parking space. You are also close enough to walk to a ton a places.
The location is close to almost everything in the Fan/Carytown area including tons of bars and restaurants, VMFA and Science Museum, music venues, art galleries, historical locations, and VCU.

V good communication with host, n he was kind enough for an early check-in... thanks David...

SindhuOctober 2016

An awesome location near everything we wanted to do. David was very helpful and available for anything that we needed. A nice place great for a night or two stay. Thanks!

OakleyOctober 2016

David's place was amazing. Clean, bright and spacious. Walking distance to a bunch of shops and bars/restaurants but far enough away so that it wasn't loud at all. Checking in and out was really easy. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks David!!

MichelleNovember 2016

Awesome place and great communication with the owner!

IanOctober 2016

David's place is wonderful: clean, comfortable, roomy, well-equipped, and convenient to what we wanted. Museums, great restaurants, unique and different locally-owned (this last is important to us) shops, and we walked everywhere. David was very responsive to all our questions and needs. Highly recommended for grownup's getaways and those who love good food!

DavidNovember 2016

Great place and great host!

AimeeNovember 2016

This place is awesome. Super clean, comfortable and the location is convenient. David sent the instructions and it was very easy to follow and understand. If you have questions David was there to reply right away. I definitely recommend this place!

AveriNovember 2016

David made sure I had all the instructions for checking in prior to my arrival and I had no complications. The apartment was super cute, very clean and had everything I could possibly need! It's located in a great area in Carytown within walking distance to a ton of shops/bars/restaurants. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Large yet cozy English basement apartment in the Fan district! 1000 Sq ft, built in 1893 with modern renovations. Safe location with a private entrance. Close to the Siegel Center, VCU, museums, the James river, and so many restaurants and shops. Fantastic neighborhood with tons to do (see our guidebook for recommendations). Ideal for couples, solo and business travelers, parents of current and prospective students, and VCU alumni.
Walk Score 93/100: Walker's Paradise.

This is an English basement apartment in our historic townhome, and has been renovated within the last 10 years. We are excited to begin sharing this space and our wonderful neighborhood with Richmond's many visitors!
The space has a separate HVAC system, so you can control the temperature to your liking. It is equipped with a full bathroom and kitchen, and we have provided the cooking basics. There is also a Kroger grocery store about 1/2 mile away where you can stock up on groceries if you plan on cooking. However, there are also many great restaurants in the neighborhood to enjoy! There is also a laundromat right across the street if you need to wash clothes.
Parking is available on the street, and is free without restrictions on weekends. If you are staying mid-week, we can provide up to 2 guest parking passes so you will be able to park on the street close to the apartment. We do require that these be returned at the end of your stay.
We live on the premises in the main house, and are available to assist with whatever you may need. However, you will have a private entrance and the space is surprisingly soundproof, so you won't even know we're there.

Richmond locals know that the Fan is the place to be. An eclectic mix of residential and commercial spaces, this is where RVA natives come for their favorite shops, bars, and restaurants.
Additionally, if you are a fan of historic architecture spanning over 2 centuries, the Fan is the place to visit. Walking around neighboring streets, you will find a variety of architectural styles such as Italianate, Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow, American Foursquare, Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Art Deco. (Not to mention some impressive front yard gardens!) We live right where the residential neighborhoods become mixed use, so there are plenty of shops to pop into or restaurants to try as you explore the beauty and culture of the area.
The neighborhood is very walkable, and there are bus lines that run perpendicular to our street. If you have a bike, bring it! Richmond is a bike-friendly town and there are many attractions a short ride away. We also recommend both Uber and Lyft, they are active in Richmond and are typically less than 5 min away.
-What's an English Basement? It is a half-above, half-below-ground dwelling that takes up an entire floor of a townhome and is an independent apartment-- there is a separate entrance, separate HVAC, and a full kitchen and bathroom. This is a common configuration in historic cities such as New York, London, or Washington DC, where in the past homeowners had live-in staff or in-laws. This listing is for the entire downstairs apartment.
-Since this is a mixed use neighborhood, there can be some street noise at night, and sometimes the college kids in the area can be a bit rowdy. We typically don't experience issues with this, but have provided earplugs and a white noise machine as a courtesy just in case.

I was coming in from a 7 hour drive and Christy and Derek were flexible about checking in! They gave us a tour of the space, which was filled with snacks and drinks! They also provided toiletries in case we had forgotten any. Christy and Derek were great hosts and the apartment is very cozy! The neighborhood is also very cute and has great options (per many of their recommendations!)

Maura October 2016

Christy and Derek were AMAZING hosts. So friendly, accommodating, and sweet! We booked last minute and they still made time to show us to the apartment and walk us through, pointing out all of the incredible amenities. The space is beautiful, comfortable, and clean, in a perfect central location to everything you might want to see...we were able to walk almost everywhere during our stay! Christy checked in to make sure we were settling in okay, and we were! The bed was so comfy, and we made time to enjoy the space because we immediately felt at home. It is incredibly private with its own entrance. We actually searched AirBnb to see if we could extend our stay in their beautiful space by a night, but we weren't surprised to find that they already had another tenant on deck! We hope to stay here again next time we are in RVA. Cheers!

ChelseaOctober 2016

This was my first time in Downtown RVA and my stay was absolutely amazing. Our host well we couldnt ask for a better host. i was greeted with care and treated well. Also during my stay our host checked in on us frequently and was readily avliable which was amazing. I reccomend anyone traveling to RVA to stay here you wont regret it. I look foward to my return trip!

HenriNovember 2016

Christys little apartment was so beautiful and extremely comfortable. It was perfect for my boyfriend and I. She went above and beyond to make this stay feel like we were at home. The fridge was stocked with snacks and drinks, and bagels for breakfast. The bathroom was spotless with extra towels and a little basket full of lotions and soap in case you happened to forget yours. The living area has board games and had a nice tv that has Netflix and Hulu on it! And the bed was sooo comfy! Love this location, I hope to be back soon!

ErickaOctober 2016

Truly a 5 star experience. Christy was welcoming, communicative and helpful - but gave us our privacy as well. Husband and I were in town for the marathon and the place is well-located with a lot of great coffee shops, restaurants and bars right around the corner. Christy and Derek left us recommendations for great places nearby. The apt was clean and comfortable. Spacious for two! Nice details and decorations. They take great care in making it feel homey. We would 100% stay here again and recommend Christy's place for couples looking to explore the city.

JennaNovember 2016

Christy met me and was super friendly and gracious - she showed me how to get to the apartment and how everything worked. The apartment itself was in a great location for exploring Richmond and for going out, but it was still quiet. It was clean and neat - I would totally stay again!

MarissaNovember 2016

Our stay with Christy was great! Great location, comfortable, clean and awesome communication! We will be back!

BenjaminSeptember 2016

My time at Christy and Derek's home was absolutely perfect. It is stylish and clean and the kitchen is well-equipped, including snacks. The bathroom is similarly well-stocked, including a hairdryer. I appreciated the listing's proximity to VCU and to the local Kroger, which made grocery shopping and cooking possible. Christy and Derek themselves werealso a pleasure to interact with and were attentive and thoughtful at every turn. I'll be back and highly recommend this listing.

This private one bedroom apartment located less than a block away from Carytown and all its amenities... restaurants, boutiques, bars, and shops. This recently renovated space is ample yet cozy and also less than a ten minute drive from University of Richmond, VCU, and downtown. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a few food staples, and cookware essentials.
Please, FOR YOUR BENEFIT, read the entire listing description and ask any questions you might have :-)

This ample 800sqft apartment is the private downstairs floor of a historic brick home built in 1916, my wife and I live on the upstairs floor. You enter the house through a shared front door to access a foyer and then there's a separate private door to enter the downstairs apartment. The bedroom has a queen size bed and the couch is an additional sleeping accommodation for one person. (It is not a pullout sofa.) The bathroom is what The finishes include pine and tile flooring, high ceilings, neutral color tones, stone counters, and stainless steel appliances.
In addition to the full apartment, you're also welcome to enjoy the available seating on the large covered front porch.
I plan to be out of sight and out of mind as they say. Unless there's a pressing need or extenuating circumstance I will leave keys available for you to check yourself in and out on your own accord.

Located in the vibrant and charming Museum District less than a block away from Cary Street (aka Carytown). Within a few steps there are restaurants, bars, local coffee shops, boutiques, grocery stores (Fresh Market, Ellwood Thompson's, Kroger, Martin's), a post office, brewery, two dry cleaners, and even vintage $2 movie theater.
Walkability in this neighborhood is incredible, within a few minutes you can walk anywhere pretty much. If you're not into walking though you can Uber throughout most parts of the city for an average of $5.50 dollars per trip.
Parking:
Parking is on street only. The street is a one-way and you can park on either side of the street. It is a rare occurrence that there is not an available parking spot within immediate eyesight of the house.
Comfortability:
Please be aware that the bathroom is what you could call 'snug' and if you're over 6'0 tall you might feel a little squeezed for space.
Quietness:
While the house is very comfortable and conveniently located, please note that it is in the heart of the city on a road that does see bursts of traffic at times (namely morning and evening 'rush hour'). You might hear occasional road noise sitting in the living room, but the bedroom does face the rear of the house and a quiet fenced in backyard. Lastly, we make a concerted effort to walk softly and keep noise to a minimum upstairs, but sometimes our furry housemate can get a little rambunctious and you might hear him pitter patter across the floor or knock something over.

This was a wonderful place to stay. My husband and I stayed one night and we would certainly stay there again. Justin was lightning fast in communication! We loved this location, as we could walk to all the Carytown shopping and restaurants.

JenniferNovember 2016

Justin was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The apartment was clean and very welcoming. Location couldn't be better. We loved our stay here and will be back!

KCSeptember 2016

Amazing location. Cozy little place right in the heart of Carytown. For me, especially traveling for business, I would have liked a tiny bit more space in the bathroom. But if that's not an important feature for you, this place is GREAT.

BrookeNovember 2016

Justin is extremely responsive and very accommodating. I felt right at home in this cozy apartment and I hope I get the opportunity to rent from Justin again in the near future.

EvaOctober 2016

Great communication on this cute little apartment in Richmond! Much better than staying in a hotel. My only complaints are that the kitchen only has a mini refrigerator so can't really hold many groceries and some of the food I had froze completely if on a certain shelf, and there are no measuring cups, toaster, or blender. These are all things that I would need to really utilize a kitchen as I normally would. Great little place though! The bedroom has a ceiling fan, which is always a HUGE plus for me!

RaenaNovember 2016

Very beautiful home that is close to many restaurants.

JohanNovember 2016

Justin's place was awesome! great location for walking to restaurants on Cary St, cute neighborhood and easy street parking. The apmt space was great- clean and spacious, great decor, full kitchen (even had some drinks and snacks which is super thoughtful!), the bed was very comfortable, had everything we needed! Highly recommend for a great stay in Richmond!

This was a fantastic place to stay in Carytown -- great for a couple who wants to explore the area, and convenient for people visiting UR, VCU and more. Justin made everything a breeze, even though we arrived very late, and we so appreciate it!

Located in Richmond's cutting edge neighborhood of Scott's Addition, this loft is within walking distance of restaurants, craft breweries, live music venues, movie theaters and more. You’ll love the high ceilings, large windows, modern kitchen, and the simple comforts of this restored cookie factory, listed on Richmond's historical register. An ideal location for discovering and devouring Richmond's most appealing amenities.

The downstairs bedroom has a twin bed and hall access to a bathroom with tub. The upstairs bedroom is a small suite with attached bathroom and full size bed.
The living space is ample and open with comfortable sectional sofa, TV, and DVD player. Dining is at a pub table and stools or at the kitchen bar with stools.
Guests have use of the entire space. Use of the washer/dryer unit and iron is available. There is wifi available. Basically full access to entire space.
Depending on the date, we will be staying elsewhere in town or an hour away at a family home. When in town we will generally be available as needed. When away we will appoint someone in town to assist in our absence. Guests do need to be greeted by host or appointed contact as access to the building requires a fob. The building is very secure.

Scott's Addition is the hottest and fastest growing community in Richmond with more craft breweries per capita than any other city. Fabulous dining within walking distance with a range of cuisine and price. Live music venue across the street and multi screen movie complex down the street. Aldi, a small market is literally in our backyard as well as a 24 hour CVS. The neighborhood is hopping yet the loft is quiet with friendly and mature residents.
The building is easily accessed off major interstates as well as major thoroughfares in the city. However, the appeal of this location is all that is in walking distance. There is one bike available for guests to use.
The outdoor pool and hot tub are only available May-September. The fitness center is available year round. There is also a community room down the hall with an outdoor patio area available 24/7.

Nancie's home is wonderful and in a great location. Communication was a breeze. I'd highly recommend staying here!

This newly renovated 19th century apartment delivers all the comfort and convenience expected of an upscale boutique Hotel. Located in the heart of Richmond's historic Fan District, this location is surrounded by inspiring architectures and an explosive culinary scene. Experience Richmond's rapidly expanding cultural hub in style!

Modern convenience meets Historic charm in this Italianate style home. This ground level apartment features two en suite bedrooms with full size beds, private parking and an additional private entrance to one of the bedrooms. The rooms are nicely equipped with Wi-Fi, computer desks and office chairs if a work area is needed. Each room includes its own high definition television for that much needed moment of leisure. The apartment is in the heart of the historic Fan District within walking distance of many renowned bars and restaurants.
The Kitchen is fully equipped and can be used freely by our guests. One of the many things I love about this town is its up and coming craft beer industry. To celebrate that, please help yourself to the cold beers in the fridge.
I work full time but I'm always available to help. I've prepared a 10 page guide located in a binder in the living room with essential information about the apartment and useful information on how to make the most of your stay in our neighborhood.

Said to be the largest intact Victorian Neighborhood in the U.S. with approximately 2,000 townhouses in the diverse architectural styles of that period. The Fan Area Historic District is a large late 19th and early 20th-century residential neighborhood west of Richmond’s downtown commercial district. The neighborhood is unquestionably one of the city’s greatest cultural and architectural assets. Most buildings in the district are brick row houses and semidetached or detached town houses, usually 2½ stories in height with a porch or stoop fronting the sidewalk. The historic density averages 12 houses per block, creating a rhythmic streets cape that is rarely broken by modern intrusions. The playful irregularity of roof lines, turrets, dormers, bay windows, cornices, projecting porches, and recessed entrances of the houses adds to the Fan's unique visual interest and charm. Guided by a deliberate plan of development with many buildings designed by the same architects or built by the same contractors, the Fan is remarkably cohesive.
The Fan’s strategic location within Richmond means that the best of the city’s culture and entertainment is never far away.
Arts + Culture
Located along the Fan’s western border, The Boulevard corridor is home to the best of Richmond’s museums. The famed VMFA (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) is located here as is the Virginia Historical Society. Located just blocks away on Broad Street is The Science Museum of Virginia and Children’s Museum making this section of Broad Street especially children friendly.
A short ride to the east will yield exposure to the Performing Arts section of the city with the newly remodeled Carpenter Center/Center Stage and The National Theater (live music venue). Richmond’s Landmark Theater, located on the Monroe Park Campus of VCU, also brings an eclectic mix of concerts and shows to the Metro.
Restaurants
In keeping with the early 20th century urban design philosophy, almost every location within the Fan is within a short and reasonable walk of several restaurants and/or markets. Main Street and Robinson Streets serve as commercial corridors housing many restaurants and pubs. Lombardy, Meadow and to some extent, Strawberry Streets all have a high instances of dining establishments and markets.
For those that like to dine out, Richmond’s Fan District offers the largest and most diverse collection of dining options within its borders. While there are several nodes that offer multiple options within a small radius, almost any address within The Fan District is no more than a block or two walk from a locally owned establishment.
While the ‘bar scene’ may be more prevalent along Robinson in the western (or Upper) Fan or along Main Street closer to VCU, there are many options throughout the district as well as bordering neighborhoods such as The Museum District/Carytown and Oregon Hill. As with restaurants in any city, all are in constant state of flux with new menus, looks and concepts being tested in order to stay on top or to become the next cool place to be and be seen.

Very clean and convenient! A short walk from restaurants and bars, Thiago left a couple of cold ones for us in the fridge as well. Great place to stay would definitely recommend!

ElaineOctober 2016

Thiago is a terrific host. He was welcoming and responded promptly to the few questions we had--few, because he anticipated our needs and provided the information before we asked! The neighborhood was amazing. Walking out to some wonderful nearby restaurants was a favorite activity because of the beautiful architecture around us. None of the four in our party had been to Richmond before, and we are already planning a return trip both to the city and to Thiago's apartment. It was spacious and clean and perfect for two couples since each bedroom has a private bath. This was our first Airbnb experience, and Thiago has us singing its praises!

EveSeptember 2016

Great location, great host!

BethanySeptember 2016

We had a good experience with this rental in Richmond. From the welcoming beer in the refrigerator to the guide to local bars and restaurants, this was a comfortable apartment. Two very comfortable beds and two nice bathrooms made the experience for my mom and I a nice one. The area is a nice one in which to walk around and the off-street parking was an added plus. One should know that this is a ground floor apartment with another apartment over it. The occupants walk around upstairs and it is very noticeable downstairs. Nothing Thiago can do about that, but if you go to bed early, you may be woken up. All in all, a great experience.

MaryNovember 2016

Thiago was a fantast if. He responded to every message quickly and answered all our questions thoroughly. He was accommodating and flexible with our late check out. Even swung by and dropped off local beers for us. His place is great especially for two couples, each room with private bathroom and nicely decorated. Super cozy and quiet yet walking distance to bars and restaurants.

ErinSeptember 2016

Great apartment in a great area. Thiago's an excellent host.

KirkOctober 2016

Great communication. Everything was smooth.

KevinAugust 2016

Thiago is a truly fantastic host and his apartment is everything described in the listing and then some. I especially appreciated the level of cleanliness of the apartment and Thiago's kindness in checking-in with me about my experience as a guest. He even sent along a helpful PDF outlining local restaurants and other helpful points of interest. I was in Richmond for a busy few days and appreciated Thiago's apartment's proximity to VCU and its private parking spot.

The property features off-street parking and private apartment access. Our place is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers and families who want to be in the city while enjoying comforts of home.

Sweet house! Close to University of Richmond, VCU, MCV, James River (Pony Pasture/Huguenot Flatwater canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming), downtown is about 10 minutes away, etc. Dog doors for the pups to roam at their leisure in the fully fenced backyard. Unexpected perk: with an oil boiler, you can not run out of how water in this house!

Great quiet neighborhood. A few great restaurants nearby: Galley, Southbound, Laura Lee's, Osaka Sushi. 10 minutes to The Fan, where there are hundreds of restaurants to choose from! 1 mile away from a grocery store (Martin's), Target, Walmart, and Lowe's.
You've got the whole house to yourself!
I live about 5 minutes away and will typically be available at a moments notice.

Enjoy the quiet, spacious master suite with its spa-like en suite bathroom (heated tile floor, soaking tub, fire place). Can accommodate up to 4 (king bed and queen sofa bed). Minutes from downtown, easy access to all major highways in all directions.

Your room is the master suite which is roomy and yet cozy. With a king sized bed and a sofa bed, there's tons of room for two and plenty of room for four. There's a desk for your lap top and free WiFi. Guests have commented that it's like staying in a luxury hotel which is music to our ears!
Master suite, garden, limited kitchen use (refrigerator, microwave).
We love interacting with guests! Meeting new people is the best thing about Airbnb. Our Ragdoll cats, Elliott and Grady, love meeting new people, too.

One of the great things about our neighborhood (Bellevue) is that it's minutes by car from downtown Richmond and within walking distance to several restaurants, including our local coffee shop, and fine dining.
There is a bus stop right across the street.
Our goal is to make you feel right at home.

Shela welcomed us with open arms. We really enjoyed our stay at her house. I've had very enjoyable conversations with Shela and Dale, who are both knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Their lovely cats have added joy to my daughter's stay. She loved to play with them! We stayed for two nights and we slept very well. The trip to Richmond was like a trip home because of Shela! I wish to have another opportunity to meet Shela and Dale again!

JayFebruary 2016

We could not have dreamed up a better first time experience! Shela and Dan's friendliness and warmth, combined with a gorgeous, immaculate home, and a spacious luxurious room with a very comfortable king sized bed made us feel like we truly had a home away from home. We loved their 2 cats - having them there made it feel even more like home to us. It was truly like having a first class hotel and spa at home. Even though we arrived late cuz of the weather, they had a super easy self-check in process. We are vegan, and they let us put a few things in the fridge and use the microwave, too. They had the wireless network info very prominent so we got settled in right away. After a 6 hour drive to Richmond in the rain, getting to take a nice long soak in the tub was delightful. In the morning Shela made us fabulous coffee. We are planning a home renovation too, and they kindly and generously answered our questions about their experience. We could not have asked for more gracious and lovely hosts. Thank you AirBnB for making it possible for us to meet. We would definitely stay there again and use AirBnB again!

ArianeJanuary 2016

Absolute bliss. My girlfriend and I rented Shela and Dale's suite for the weekend and it vastly exceeded our expectations. Not only were our hosts super laid back and friendly, but so were the two gorgeous cats! The suite itself was luxurious and comfortable. Don't even get me started on the soaking tub. The only problem was that we were so content in the suite that we kept cancelling plans so we could to stay in. Book this place!!

DaxApril 2016

What a wonderful stay we had with Shela and Dale. Their home is stunningly beautiful. and is located in a very nice side of Richmond. The Master Suite where we stayed was private, lovely, comfortable bed and spacious. My very favorite detail is not only an incredible beautiful bathing area with your choice of bath tub or standup heat regulated tiled shower... but the heated floors are a DREAM! They not only made us feel welcomed but also took the time to accomodate us in any way possible. They are precious gems that our lives crossed paths with and we hope to visit Richmond and stay again. And their sweet cats Elliott and Grady are very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

SelineMarch 2015

This was my Girlfriend and i's first time using AirB&B and I must say that the Bar is not set very high. The room is beyond beautiful and Sheila and Dale are kind and wonderful hosts. From the heated tile, soaking tub and the best mattress I've ever slept on, this was a fantastic experience.

GaryJanuary 2016

Being new to AirBnb, before booking, I read the previous glowing reviews for Shela and her lovely home. They are all true. The room is amazing, the home is gorgeous, and in a great location on a pretty street. Shela took the time to join my sister and I for her delicious morning coffee. She is a very interesting person and a great conversationalist. We fell in love with our two furry little co-hosts, Ragdoll cats Grady and Elliot. I plan to stay with Shela again next time I visit Richmond.

SheliaSeptember 2015

Shela and Dale were wonderful hosts. They were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The house is very nice, the room comfortable and well appointed, and it is located with easy access to downtown. I'd highly recommend this place.

Best place to be, in the heart of the Fan, within walking distance of Carytown, VCU, VMFA, and lots of cafes and restaurants. My apt is cozy, quiet and clean. The whole apt. is available during the summer and holidays (otherwise, just one bedroom).

My apartment is peaceful and happy, bright and full of interesting things I collect. It's super clean and organized. Our mattresses are amazing and it's quiet enough that you can sleep in late if you want. I'm currently renting out the entire apartment during the summer, while I'm out of the country on vacation. Otherwise, when I'm home I rent out just the room with the single bed.
You'll be able to use the master bedroom with a queen bed, and another bedroom with a twin bed, a study desk and a closet, and you're welcome to use my living room and kitchen, if you'd like. I have a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, as well as internet, cable TV, central air, free off-street parking, and lots of interesting books and films you can watch. There's a washer and dryer in the building. I left wifi password and recommendations for restaurants on the yellow "post-it notes" board next to the bookshelf in the dinning room.
You may email me with any questions you have and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Otherwise, my friend Samantha will be close by and able to help you with anything you need. Just give her a call. (646) 379-0934

There isn't a better place to be if you come to Richmond. I'm within walking distance from all the places you'd want to visit; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Carytown, VCU, etc.. Monument Ave is a beautiful street full of nice houses and gardens. You'll find lots of people jogging and biking and it's very safe.
Public transportation is not great, but you can walk to most places or bike (there are bike renting places in Carytown). There's also a place to rent cars right behind my building and a bus stop right in front of my apartment.
* Make sure to check out the Kehinde Wiley exhibit at the VMFA !
It's amazing !!!

Staying with Elka was fantastic, I was in town briefly for a festival and her apartment was great. It's perfectly located right in the center of the fan and she was more than generous about my arriving earlier than anticipated and very accommodating , would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting rva.

EddieOctober 2015

Communication with Shelia was easy - she left great instructions and was very flexible with our somewhat erratic schedule. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We didn't take advantage, but there are lots of great food options within walking distance. The neighborhood felt safe and parking was easy to find even late at night. It was a nice experience and I wish we could've taken advantage of it for a longer stay.

CindyJuly 2015

Elka has such a lovely apartment in one of the best parts of the city. My girlfriend and I were visiting for a wedding after moving to California a couple months ago and couldn't think of a better place to stay than our old neighborhood. Elka's apartment was super clean and made you feel at home with such great decor and lots of space! A special thanks to Elka's friend, Shelia, who set us up and was so accommodating with our hectic schedule being back for only 1 night!

BenAugust 2015

My daughter & I enjoyed staying at Elka's place. Great location and beautiful house. Shelia was helpful with local information and we loved the stores and restaurants that she recommended! Richmond is a very lovely town.

MichiAugust 2015

I loved loved loved staying with Elka! She is such a wonderful host and I truly enjoyed staying with her. She made me feel very welcome and at home. She also recommended a couple of wonderful stores for me to visit on Cary Street! I had so much fun there! I hope I see her again in the future!

Yingratana (Belle)February 2016

Didn't meet Elka as she was on vacation. Her friend Shelia dealt with everything & alto we didn't meet she was v responsive. Elka also contacted to check everything ok. Had a lovely few days in Richmond & the apartment is in a great location & is fab. Would recommend staying here & would return if back in Richmond

GillAugust 2015

Elka's place is amazing! There were so many cool details, photos and vintage curios that we almost didn't want to leave. The neighborhood is very old Richmond, very leafy and green. And it was a perfect spot for our friend to come pick us up. Very centrally located to everything we came to town to experience. Everything was just as Elka described, and coming and going were both very easy. We would happily book this spot again!

KarenAugust 2015

Elka and her friend Sheila were incredibly accommodating and we're a fantastic home base during our brief trip to Richmond. The apartment was lovely, and super central to great coffee shops and restaurants. The decor was super inviting and fun and the beds were nice and comfy. We had a great stay and would certainly recommend it to others!

FamaraJuly 2016

This was the perfect spot for my mother and I to stay while visiting relatives in Richmond. It was a quick drive to the city, yet we felt like we were getting away from it all when we came back out to the home. A beautiful, quiet setting, with plenty of room. We loved having our breakfast on the patio every morning while listening to the birds sing. Our hosts were helpful and friendly.

ElizabethJune 2016

I stayed at Robert & Thomas' house for two weeks and my experience was excellent! Nesled, off the main road, on a wooded lot, just outside of the city core, the property is unbelievably peaceful and serene. I enjoyed a fantastic sleep every night! The accommodation is exactly as pictured. In fact, it's much larger than it appears. Communication with Robert was extremely fast. I look forward to my next trip to Richmond and staying at Robert's again!

DeanNovember 2016

Robert and Thomas made me very welcome. I appreciated the explanation Thomas provided of which light switches do what and the warning about instant hot water. The three rooms felt spacious. I especially enjoyed the art on the walls. The rocking chair in the bedroom is a nice touch. The wooded neighborhood is quiet and feels rural, although all the benefits of the city are not far away. I recommend this delightful apartment and hosts.

JulieOctober 2016

I stayed in this lovely apartment for two weeks while finishing a work project. The apartment is lovely, spacious, and welcoming, and is furnished with everything needed for a short or long stay. This is a walkout basement apartment in beautiful home, on a large lot with impeccable plantings and a stunning garden. There are large windows in all four rooms (kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom) with views of large trees and the beautiful garden, so it did not really feel like a basement. There is also a small patio is right outside the front door. The hosts are extremely gracious and very hospitable. They shared good suggestions for dining and shopping close by and patiently answered all my questions. They supplied me with some very nice coffee for the entirety of my stay, and left a welcoming snack of apples and cheese. I also locked myself out one day, and they quickly (and kindly) got me back in the apartment. The whole apartment has beautiful new lighting throughout, with the bathroom being particularly nicely lit. The living room and bedroom are very comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen is very well supplied and has everything needed for basic cooking. For my long stay, I appreciated the full size fridge and stove, and appliances including blender and toaster. The wireless was also dependable and fairly fast. I had three, sometimes four devices attached with no problem. The location is west of downtown, so t is a little over a twenty minute commute to downtown during rush hour. It is well-located for all areas of town. It would particularly be a wonderful place for University of Richmond visitors. I had lived in another apartment for a year for work, but wish I had been here instead! Bob and Tom were wonderful hosts. I highly recommend their apartment, with its lovely attention to detail, enhanced by their hospitality. Thanks for making my last two weeks in Richmond the best!

BarbaraSeptember 2016

One of the best experiences I've had with Airbnb! The hosts greeted me warmly when I arrived and showed me around the apartment. The entire property is very clean and well-maintained. All the photos are accurate. I enjoyed the quiet setting and the scenic view. I already made plans to come back.

TomJuly 2016

very friendly and helpful. We didn't get to spend as much in the apartment as we would have liked. We had lots of things to do to get ready for a wedding and the wonderful host let us have another groomsmen over to help. the kitchen is bigger than it looks in the pic. very private, lovely garden.

We are close to tons of restaurants, including lots of international options, and it's very close to the best park on this side of town with tons of great trails.
You’ll love your stay in my home because of the spacious, open floor plan with lots of comfy spaces to relax. You will also fall in love with the gorgeous dining room and the peaceful beauty of the Florida room.

We are excited to welcome you into our home. Your private room is located on the far end of the upstairs hallway and has a desk and queen, extra tall queen air bed with a pillowtop mattress pad, cozy linens, and a plush cooling gel or stay cool foam pillow. Your room has a lock on the door for privacy, as do the bathrooms.
You will have access to the upstairs full bath, which has a tub and shower, as well as a half bath on the bottom floor. We have also a master bath in our room, so you don't have to worry about waiting to use the restroom or too many people sharing the same restroom.
Make yourself at home and feel free to enjoy the space. Please limit kitchen use to the microwave and toaster oven.
I have a small workout room with hand weights up to thirty pounds, a tricep dip station, a homemade sandbag, medicine ball, stability balls, resistance bands, and a workout mat, all of which you are welcome to freely use. Please exercise good judgment, which means that, of course, you should not be doing ball slams indoors with the medicine ball.
I also have some jump ropes and a midsize trampoline out back that you are welcome to use. There are always tons of walkers all hours of the day in my neighborhood if you prefer that instead.
Feel free to relax in any of the downstairs areas and watch TV, if you like. In your room, you will find a desk which can easily double as a TV stand to watch Netflix or Hulu on your laptop.
I love chatting and sharing about the many great things to do in my city, but I am flexible and will adjust to your interaction preferences. I am happy to give you tips on dining and things to do.

We live in a safe, wooded suburban neighborhood with lots of walkers and joggers at all times of day, as well as a small park with a pond and picnic shelters near the main entrance.
Within a five minute drive or less, there are tons of dining options--American, Korean, Mexican, Japanese, and more, including a few 24-hour options. You will find cafes very close to us as well. There are also lots of banks and grocery stores nearby, as well as the public library.
Within a ten-minute, straight shot drive, there are even more restaurant options, including sushi, Vietnamese, casual and high-end new American, high-end Asian fusion, neighborhood sports and karaoke bars, and more, tons of which are locally-owned gems. There are larger bars and nightlife options within a 15-minute drive.
The largest, best park in the area is just two short stoplights away. There you will find lots of great shaded trails,paved, dirt, and gravel, of varying difficulty level and lengths. There is also a nature center by the entrance of the main trail head.
Abut 5 minutes or so in the other direction is the entrance to a number of trail heads in Pocahontas State Park, if you take Courthouse Rd. going South. This park is known for great trails for walking and biking.
We are within a short drive to a number of highway options to easily get anywhere in the city, and we are about 12 minutes from the mall and tons of other shops.
We are 15 minutes by highway from Carytown, a very popular trendy, vibrant walkable shopping and dining district with all things local and creative. You'll find tons of cafes, bakeries, high-end dining options, global food, casual dining and delis, as well as vintage shops and boutiques galore.
Also 15 minutes away, you'll find the Museum District with tons of different options. My favorites are the Virginia Fine Arts Museum (the building and grounds are a true work of art in and of themselves.) and the Virginia Historical Society museum, which are side-by-side, and the Haulocaust museum, which is truly powerful and unforgettable.
There are no real viable public transportation options nearby, aside from Uber. Unless you are deep in the city, unfortunately, our bussing system is less than efficient.
As far as transportation by car, we are close to 288 and 150/Chippenham Pkwy for easy highway access to various parts of the city. Both 288 and 150 connect to I-95 and Powhite Pkwy.
For $20 per trip, I am happy to provide airport transportation to or from our home between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
If you're here on a weekend, our city has tons of festivals, so be sure to check out what's going on. I'm happy to give you some tips in that area as well. We are also known for our craft breweries and locally-owned restaurants, so do check them out while you're in town. We also have a few really amazing museums and lots of historical sites in the area. All of these things can be found within a 15-20 minute drive.
I typically have either homemade granola or homemade oatmeal made with fresh fruit available for breakfast, or fruit and yogurt, as well as just fresh fruit alone. You are welcome to help yourself.

My place is ten minutes walk from downtown, in the Churchill Historic District. Jefferson Park is across the street with workout equipment overlooking the city. There are many restaurants in easy walking distance with the famous Alamo BBQ just a block away. You’ll love the neighborhood and the cozy bed with blackout conditions when you close the doors. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. Hypoallergenic with HEPA air filter.

I work from my home and value open space and clean lines over possessions. I spent a lot of time in Japan and absorbed some the aesthetics of home decor there.
You'll have the whole apartment to yourself. You'll share the backyard with the upstairs neighbors. They have a young and energetic dog with a big bark but she's very friendly.
I'll be available by phone if anything urgent comes up.
The upstairs neighbors will be in and out of the backyard. They are friendly, though somewhat shy, feel free to introduce yourself.

Churchill is an old neighborhood with distinct architecture and history. Patrick Henry gave his famous "Give me liberty, or give me death" speech just up the street at St. John's Church. The streets are lined with full trees and the sidewalks are paved with funky old bricks. Neighbors always say hello. There are several acclaimed restaurants within easy walking distance like the Roosevelt, Proper Pie, Alamo BBQ, and Dutch & Company. You can also walk down to the clubs, bars, and restaurants of Shockoe Bottom.
There are several bus stops within 3 min walk.
Don't put anything in the toilet besides human waste! There's a pump that draws all the water up and away from the house. Solid materials in the toilet will break this pump.

If you're looking for something simple, then this is the place to stay! Located in an awesome neighborhood with a great bbq place up the street with veg options! Jefferson Park is also right across the street, which has a great view of the city.

Great communication, super easy check-in. Studio was surprisingly much larger than I originally thought. Very clean and organized! Neighborhood is adorable.

I stayed at Will's apartment for two months while I was transitioning for a move out of state. The place is in one of the best neighborhoods in Richmond and walking distance to restaurants, bars, the grocery store, and parks. The apartment is bigger in person, very homey, and clean. Parking was not an issue because there was plenty of street parking. The neighbors upstairs were really sweet too! I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in Richmond.

Place is nice. Floor is cement which I suppose can get kinda cold in the winter. Parking was simple, place was very clean.

Will got a really nice flat. It has a really cool individual touch. Communication was excellent and it was a pleasure to stay. Place is located near Downtown so you dont have to walk too long to see some interesting sites. Would totally recommend it.

A very clean and comfortable place. I got work and relaxation in, and the apartment was very nicely maintained.

Will's home is great for a quick stay. He was easy to communicate with, the apartment was incredibly clean, and it served as a great place to lay our heads during an apartment search in the area. The photos are accurate, and the reviews alluding to the minimalist style are on point. Pack slippers for colder months, the concrete floors were a bit chilly!

The Blue Byrd is a spacious private suite in the heart of Richmond, under a mile from the Fan, Carytown, and VCU. The suite is in the basement level of a classic Richmond home, with a private entrance, full bath, and a dry kitchenette.

The suite is in the basement level of a classic Richmond home. With both a queen bed and a futon, it's plenty of space for a couple but also roomy enough to accommodate up to four people upon request. You'll have a private entrance, full bath, a dry kitchenette with toaster oven and coffee maker (no fridge, no sink), and a laundry room.
You will have access to the whole lower level of the house, but not the upper levels.
We'll be available to help or give tips either in person or via cell/text.

The Blue Byrd Suite is in the heart of Richmond, just two blocks from the lakes and gardens of the city's best parks. We offer an oasis that's still within walking distance of Richmond's top restaurants, bars and shops in the Fan and Carytown. It's also just a mile to Virginia Commonwealth University, the Museum District, and the James River, and around two miles to the Virginia State Capitol. We really have the perfect location for visitors.
We are a 10 to 20 minute walk to numerous restaurants, cafes, shops and bars and a mile from VCU. There's free street parking out front, and most of Richmond is within a 10 minute drive. Richmond is becoming more bike-friendly, and it's easy to cycle to the city's sites. There's also a city bus stop around the block.
Check in time is after 3:00 pm, check out is before 11:00 am. Please send us a message if these times don't work for you. If circumstances allow so, we can be flexible with check in and out times.
A couple hours before you've confirmed your estimated time of arrival we will send you a code to access the suite.

Clean and lovely space. It's cute to a fault and charming.

Ana's place was just as pictured with nice added touches around. As I was out mountain biking each day the availability to use the washer and dryer was super nice!!!

Everything worked out great!

If there were ever just the most perfectly imperfect, cozy, realistic and completely awesome spot to stay while getting the most bang for your buck...THIS WOULD BE IT! As a matter of fact, IT IS IT! Immaculate, cozy, private, comfy...I felt safe and really didn't want to part ways with this spot. The owners clearly take care of the suite. I wish I could rent it out and kick this place off AirBnB to use all to myself. Sucks I live in Los Angeles! Ana and her husband give you privacy, but are also only just a phone call or text away. I hope you choose this place because you will definitely enjoy it. Street parking no more than a block away on busy days, but you'll probably find parking on the same block. Enjoy.

We didn't get to meet our hosts, but Ana was helpful beforehand and sent good information about our stay. I definitely felt like I could bug her if I needed anything. The Blue Bird Suite is just as it appears in the photos- very clean, pretty spacious, and cutely decorated-- with coffee, some toiletries, and plenty of info about the Richmond area provided! It was a perfect location for us, as we were attending events downtown, around Carytown, and near the Univ. of Richmond-- very short, easy trips to all of those places. We enjoyed eating lunch in nearby Byrd Park before checking in.

Our stay at the Byrd Park Suite was terrific. The suite is well-situated in The Fan with plenty to do a short walk away. We found the suite very clean and the beds and linens very comfortable. The bathroom is large and well-stocked. Communication was great. Thanks again for a great stay!

Ana was so sweet and welcoming! Her apt is very cute and she recently added a mini-fridge and toaster oven which were great for leftovers. She even had water chilling in the fridge and snacks upon arrival. I'll definitely be back! Thank you, Ana!

Ana is great and so is the Blue Byrd suite. My husband and I absolutely loved it. It's clean, adorable and quite big. For not having a kitchen they have quite the set up. It was hot while we were here and it was nice the have AC to come back to. The location is prime. We explored the Fan district as well as Carytown and just fell in love with Richmond. It's our second time here and now we're considering moving. The Blue Byrd is just steps away from Byrd Park which is gorgeous. Getting in and out of the suite is so easy and you never have to remember a key. If this is your first time in the area, definitely check out Burger Bach, Can Can, Greek on Cary and I highly recommend the hour drive to see Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Absolutely stunning. Can't wait to come back and visit again, we will definitely book the Blue Byrd Suite for our future visits.
